Nah. I think our offensive play calling just need a to stay aggressive even with a lead. And our defense is better than last year. It's not great but we did stop them all 3rd quarter.


Maybe we finish 102 instead of dead last

If Jared didn't get hurt, we would have iced the game and scored 55 or 59 pts.

I hope Sonny learned a valuable lesson this game, NEVER ever go conservative with CAL unless its literally the last possesion lol.


Agreed 200%

Agree. We CANNOT give up the ball. That's the big lesson.

Hope Sonny and Kaufman can learn from this. Our players looked deflated after the win. Odd.

Go Bears!!

c'mon- that was a great win. We are 3-0, and the only undefeated team in the North and all done without Lasco. Texas will be in a bowl game and we will too.

Coming into the game Texas averaged 250 yards of offense. Tonight they racked up 650 yards. That's 400 over average...WTF.

I'll take the win but man, you just can't do that.

I do think Heard is gonna be special. Kid is electric. Reminded me of Masoli shredding us but Heard is much more athletic (although Masoli was a load).

They are like "how did we win?" and I am guessing they would have rather done it themselves. And yeah, absent Goff hurting leg I think we would have been fine.

Guys, we won, home many times has a top ranked team squeaked out a win. Have we ever beat Texas? Yes, after tonight we have? How many times have we blown it. Something went our way, we played great on O, some struggles on D, but a win is a win. Go Bears! Go Bears! The Bear will not quit.

The problem was we were too conservative on offense. The d was on the field way too long. And don't forget, we got back in the game because the d played well in the 3rd. We got some great stops.

OK. But be balanced. Week 1 they played the other kid. Week 2 they played Heard for first time and they hadn't put in all of this triple read option.

I have never seen as much holding as Texas did. And that includes Oregon.

Seriously....Sonny got too conservative on the other drives, then got risky on the pass play that failed and stopped the clock....totally opposite of what he should have done IMO. We could have sealed this game away with about 4 minutes to go if Sonny hadn't reverted to the JT playbook the series before the dropped pass one.


I call BS - QB is injured and went for it on 4th down. Stephen Anderson was our Rose.

Did anybody here the Goff interview on TV.
I was waiting for the radio interview but it didn't happen.
Did he say anything about his injury?

Couldn't agree more. They held on the edges constantly. Ala Whoregon.

I saw the post game interview on the field. Goff was honest - he said Cal lucked out.

I'm happy we won but I'm certainly not gloating....WE gave up a fuckin' 21 point lead. That is so messed up we have to rely on a missed extra point to win


Man that win feels like a loss. Giving up last minutes leads has become a legacy. On the last TD I was screaming at the TV DO NOT BLITZ UP THE OUTSIDE. He was QB drawing up the middle all game and you could tell he was itching to run there. Couldn't believe we left the middle open.

There are many athletic QBs in the Pac-12 who, along with their coaches, will study this game film.


It is painfully clear after 3 years that Sonny is a one trick pony and that pony's name is Mr. Goff. Let's call a spade a spade here.

He is extremely elusive and fast, but I don't think he completed one pass to a WR who wasn't wide open. I'm sure that will change because we definitely helped his confidence tonight.

Hopefully, some more Texas recruits will be coming our way...

Honestly, I don't think you can judge the Texas offense yet. They completely retooled after the game to Notre Dame, and last week their offense barely touched the ball, due to turnovers and special teams.

Is goff ok? Can't believe how fair the officials were in half 2. Go Bears!

At least nobody on our defense is going to be in a complacent mood anymore this year. But our offense needs to not take the night off after the 3rd quarter as well.

That remains to be seen... new QB looked terrific.

I can agree with this but Texas had WIDE OPEN receivers much of the night and it any competent QB would have hit them. I think the new guy calling plays did a good job so Texas is much better than with the other OC. Still, you can't have wide open guys all over the place. That really is deflating and I would think it would be to players, coaches and fans alike.
